Art of Dentistry Services

The dental group has been awarded with recognition from their peers for many consecutive years and have been credited for their holistic  approach to cosmetic dentistry. If you’re curious about what type of cosmetic services they provide, here’s a quick overview: 

General Dentistry

While the Art of Dentistry team is well versed in complex, cosmetic procedures they also provide general dentistry services as well, including: 

• Alignment. Both traditional braces and Invisalign can be used to  improve alignment, jaw discomfort, and overall aesthetics. 
• Repair. For teeth with varying levels of cavities or decay, or injured/cracked teeth in need of repair, fillings are the most common avenue; however, sometimes more extensive repair is needed. In those cases, dental crowns may be used. For teeth with more pervasive damage or decay, crowns have a wide range of use, and are often the go-to for those with: 
  • Large Fillings
  • Excessive Wear
  • Cracked Teeth
  • Broken Cusps
  • Dental Implants
  • Root Canals

• Extractions. When a tooth is either damaged/decayed beyond repair, or is impacted (such as the case with wisdom teeth) they typically need to be removed.
